Advice
- If you buy a toy gun, remove any parts that don't look realistic, then buy some black spray paint and paint it. If you want to reproduce a gray gun instead, tape over the parts you don't want silver and paint it with gray spray paint (make sure the rest of the gun is dry first). Removing the cap or red stripe (which identifies the weapon as a toy) may be illegal and is still a matter of debate.
- If you use other people's music, be sure to include the band or artist and the title of the song in the credits, so as not to run into trouble with the law. Learn about copyright. For some songs, even if you include the artist's name in the credits, you will still be committing copyright infringement.
- Don't use too flashy toy guns.
Warnings
- Removing the red cap from toy guns can get you in trouble with the law. In many areas it is illegal. If you have removed the red cap or red band from your gun and intend to publicly broadcast your film or film outside your home make sure you get a permit from local authorities and all residents in the area. Otherwise, you risk getting arrested or worse.
- Do not shoot the film in public places, such as shops, unless you have explicitly received permission from the owners.
- Don't do anything illegal in the movie. Don't steal ideas and characters from other copyrighted films.
- Avoid stunts and scenes that could put your life and that of other actors at risk.
